Every day, the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, bustles with the activity of meetings held by lobbyists trying to influence decision-making.

欧盟预算的一项激进提议：大脑健康。

每天，比利时布鲁塞尔的欧洲议会都忙于说客试图影响决策的会议活动。但是，既然欧洲联盟（EU）正在就2021年至27年预算的“多年期金融框架”进行谈判，那么这种疯狂的气氛似乎更加强烈。欧洲脑理事会（科学和专业协会，患者组织以及对精神和神经系统健康感兴趣的行业合作伙伴的伞形组织）没有忽略这个机会之窗，并于2020年2月18日在欧洲议会主办了一次会议题为“将脑部健康作为全球优先事项—欧盟现在采取行动的时间”。提出了一项令人信服的新预算提案：将脑部健康列为欧盟的优先事项，并引领支持全球脑部研究的道路。
